After the mammoth effort last night with TWO WHOLE miles achieved along the canal, this morning I awoke somewhat achey and tired. So of course I hid under the duvet and dozed (well what are extra days of work for?). Eventually however, after much duvet-warmed procrastination, I forced myself up, into running gear, and out - making it my second pre-breakfast Janathon of 2012. (I know, when breakfast is pretty well amalgamated into lunch anyway, maybe that's not such a great thing to acclai,m but isn't this Janathon thing all about grabbing whatever self sustaining plaudits I can?)
Bearing in mind the general principle that one should probably endeavour to make progress rather than kill oneself off today was, following yesterday's big adventure, a "light" day. Just for a change I went along the canal. But this time, because I am a radical and exciting, exotic soul, this time I WENT THE OTHER WAY. I know unexpected or what? I did about 1.4 miles in total, most of that being outward with as a result quite a decent walk back. At the 1.4 mile point when I stopped jogging (running not really being an appropriate term if I'm honest, jogging barely seeming valid!) I felt like death. However ... by the time I'd walked home I actually felt pretty good. The sun was out, it was dry, neither warm nor cold, I had my breath back and ...
I was up, I was out, and Day 4 of my Janathon was done! What more do you need to feel good before breakfast?
Definitely a good thing to grab self-sustaining plaudits. And well deserved ones at that.
ReplyDeleteCheers! I shall continue to plough on and pay myself on the back occasionally too! :-)
